How can I raise my platelet count? (With food)

Good morning, Denise. Prednisone is a wonder drug but it sure can have its drawbacks. Thankfully it brought your husband’s platelet level back for now. But you’re right it can really mess with the blood sugar levels. That’s always such a balancing act. Does your husband need to make adjustments to his insulin to compensate?

Sorry I am just now reading the message and getting back. He does make adjustments to his insulin pump. But there’s times at night it’ll be too high or too low. We haven’t found a middle ground. Thankfully he’s now just on Promacta. The amount changes according to how low he gets on his platelets.
